Chapter 528 Tai Bai’s Support

In the Great White Hall, two figures sat on the ground behind the two chairs. They were opening the surrounding gift boxes and talking about serious topics. When Youqin Xuanya arrived, the entire hall had only activated an isolation array formation.

The Jade Emperor’s incarnation, Wei Shenmo, was there. The entire hall was filled with layers of array formations. There were isolation array formations, peripheral protective array formations, and illusion array formations… There were all kinds of them. They were all the hard work of the immortals of the Heavenly Courts.

“…Someone from the Western Sect has

appeared?”

“That person’s cultivation level and mystical abilities should not be weak. He just said to my incarnation, ‘Can you give me half an incense stick of time?’”

Wei Shenmo shook his head and pursed his lips. “I want to give him three incense sticks.” Li Changshou smiled and said, “This should be because the Western Sect wants to negotiate with His Majesty and reach an agreement to plot against the Dao Sect. Now, His Majesty is in charge of the trend of the Great Tribulation. When the Purple Cloud Palace discusses later, His Majesty’s words will be extremely important. The Western Sect can only please the Heavenly Courts now.”

Wei Shenmo pondered for a while and cursed, “These selfish people. What did they do when the Heavenly Courts were in decline? He fought with the Heavenly Courts for the dragon race and incited the demons to fight against the Heavenly Courts. He caused trouble everywhere and prevented the Heavenly Courts from prospering. He did not hesitate to harm mortals for his own prosperity. The Western Sect is rotten to the core.”

Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “Actually, you don’t have to be angry. The long river of time surged forward and would not be stopped by external forces. There was no gradual elimination of the things of the past, so there was no improvement. It is no longer feasible. If a large number of experts are destined to die in this Great Tribulation, the world should eliminate the factions who still do not know how to change.”

“Changgeng, what you said is indeed correct.” Wei Shenmo smiled and his eyes were filled with emotions. “The people from the Western Sect are mixed. They do things without any bottom line, let alone restrict others. Chan School values etiquette and reputation. It is beneficial to the world. Jie School is also in trouble… Changgeng, I have something to discuss with you. I just don’t know how to say it. Why don’t you guess what I’m thinking about today? If you can guess correctly, I’ll give you a good treasure as a congratulatory gift. How about that?”

Li Changshou thought, ‘Why do I feel that the friendship between the rulers and ministers is gradually changing?’ ‘Be serious. Be serious.’

Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, “Your Majesty, you should be worried if I will interfere with the Great Tribulation because of my personal feelings.”

“That’s right.” Wei Shenmo sighed and said, “I actually don’t care about that. Before the Great Tribulation, the Deity Position was already here. I already understand that this Great Tribulation will definitely let the experts of the Dao Sect fill the Deity Position of the Heavenly Courts. However, I don’t know how it will be carried out. The Purple Cloud Palace’s discussion should be clear later. However, Changgeng, your answer is too generic.”

Wei Shenmo smiled and said, “The gift I want to give you is extraordinary. If you don’t take out some good stuff from your stomach, I don’t want to give it to you so easily.”

Li Changshou thought about it seriously and said slowly, “Your Majesty, you want to test me to see if I can make an objective and fair decision between Chan School and Jie School. Indeed, the loyalty of the immortals of Jie School was more important. The disciples of the sect were brothers, and it was easier for others to have a good impression of them. The immortals of Chan School were more restrained and had more rules. Most of the disciples were shrewd. Compared to the immortals of Jie School, it was easier for others to dislike them. However, from the perspective of the Heavenly Courts, or rather, from the perspective of the ruler of the Great Tribulation, he could not be biased towards them just because the Immortal Du Sect valued relationships and loyalty. Compared to Chan School, there were too many disciples of Jie School. There were many negative karma living beings hidden inside. There were probably many saviors this time. Actually, Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry about that.”

As he spoke, Li Changshou sighed softly.

“I naturally stand on the side of the Dao Sect between the Dao Sect and the Western Sect. However, in the face of Chan School and Jie School in this Great Tribulation, I will only stand from the perspective of the disciples of Ren School. At the same time, I will find a way to make the Dao Sect suffer the least losses. Otherwise… I wouldn’t have been thinking about countermeasures all these years.”

Wei Shenmo patted Li Changshou’s shoulder and smiled.

“It’s been hard on you. However, even the seniors of the Saints could not do anything about this matter. Don’t pay too much attention to it. There is one thing that you might not know. Although Saints are almost omnipotent, they have to accept the Primordial Violet Vapor within the rules of the Heavenly Dao. They are already unable to leave the Heavenly Dao sequence. In this great calamity, the battle between the great sects was on one level. The battle between the Saints was on another level. The battle between living beings and the world was on an even deeper level. Of course, Changgeng, you must know more than me. It’s fine as long as you know what you’re doing. No matter what decision you make in the future, even if I don’t understand it, I will try my best to cooperate. Changgeng, you just have to explain a little more. Here.”

Wei Shenmo paused and took out a golden scroll from his sleeve. He pressed it against Li Changshou’s chest.

“I can’t give you too much, but this is something I deducted from the Heavenly Dao. Disciple-Nephew Yun Xiao is a good woman. She’s quite compatible with you.”

Li Changshou was stunned. He slowly opened the scroll. Rich Heavenly Dao power surged towards him. The huge Heavenly Emperor Seal was extremely eye-catching, but the content was very simple…

“Today, I investigated and found out that Fairy Yun Xiao has a noble character, a pure Dao heart, and is righteous. She has contributed much to the good of Connate lifeforms, the righteousness of the Three Realms, and the stability of the world.

Fairy Yun Xiao is immune to negative karma and is protected by the Heavenly Dao. She is a blessing to the Heavenly Courts. She will not enter the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. She will not be bound by the God roll of the Heavenly Book. She will not be injured by the God-Slaying Whip. She will not be entangled by the tribulation.”

Li Changshou stood up and bowed to the Jade Emperor.

“Thank you, Your Majesty!”

The Jade Emperor sighed and said, “It’s also because Changgeng, you didn’t enter the calamity. From the looks of it, if Yun Xiao really faces the calamity, you might be able to balance the Heavenly Dao.”

Then, Li Changshou sighed in his heart. His gaze was complicated.

Li Changshou put the “injury-free decree” into his sleeve and returned to his original position.

The duo looked at each other. Both of them seemed to have something in their throats, but they knew that they could not say it too clearly. In the end, they only chuckled.

At that moment, Li Changshou finally confirmed something.

Two treasures that should not have been known by others appeared in the decree—the Heavenly Book God roll and the God-Slaying Whip. The Jade Emperor had long known about the details of the Great Tribulation. However, he remained silent and waited quietly for the Saints of the Purple Cloud Palace to discuss the God-Conferment matter.

The reason why the Dao Ancestor had chosen him as the ruler of the Three Realms was definitely not because of the connection of the Dao Ancestor Child.

It would be more accurate to say that the Dao Ancestor had long chosen the ruler of the Three Realms. He had only stayed by his side to polish his temperament and wait for the right opportunity to plot from the ancient times to this day.

It would be foolish to underestimate the Heavenly Emperor.

Wei Shenmo said, “The Western Sect wants to beg for mercy now. Let’s pull them and wait for the Purple Cloud Palace to discuss matters. In the next few decades, the Primordial World and the trichiliocosm should be relatively stable. Changgeng, what else does the Heavenly Courts need to do?” “There’s no need to do too much. Continue to expand and recruit experts.” Li Changshou said seriously, “Your Majesty, you arranged the ceremony today because you wanted to investigate the relationship between the disciples of the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools, right? I’ve been thinking about this matter previously, but the conclusion is not optimistic.”

“Oh…”

Wei Shenmo’s eyes lit up. “That’s right!”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

‘Alright, I won’t think about it.’

Wei Shenmo pondered for a while and asked, “But Changgeng, why do we need so many Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals? Even if a million Heavenly Soldiers are facing experts above the Zenith Heaven, if the other party does not care about negative karma, it will only be a matter of waving his sleeve.”

Li Changshou said seriously, “The purpose of the Heavenly Courts’ rapid expansion is to establish a stable order in the future. This is actually the key to whether the Heavenly Courts can really prosper and not be restrained by the large sects in the future.” “Wait.”

Wei Shenmo frowned and widened his eyes. He suddenly scolded jokingly, “You really hid something! Why didn’t you say that previously? Is it also part of your plan for me to use this decree as a congratulatory gift? If I don’t use this decree, are you going to use these schemes to threaten me?”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Your Majesty, you can’t be so calculative.”

“I’m going back on my word. Return the decree! We’ll see if I give it to you again!”

Li Changshou’s figure flashed and appeared 30 feet away. He smiled awkwardly and said, “The mortal world still emphasizes that the Lord does not joke. Your Majesty, you are the Heavenly Emperor. How can you go back on your words?”

“You benevolent thief Changgeng!”

Wei Shenmo scolded jokingly, “Quick, tell me. If you can’t satisfy me, I’ll deduct the Dao decree later and make the Tribulation Exemption decree null.”

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. I guarantee that everything will be arranged clearly.” Li Changshou chuckled and maintained his youthful appearance. However, he was worried and set up a barrier around him.

“Today, I will definitely explain the follow-up of the twelve strategies to Your Majesty and help the Heavenly Courts prosper. Let’s start from today’s matter. Your Majesty, you know many details about the Great Tribulation. You might not be able to say it now… What I’m going to say next are all my guesses and guesses. If I accidentally say it, you can pretend that you didn’t hear it.”

Wei Shenmo waved his hand. Golden light appeared around him, and the power of the Heavenly Dao enveloped the place.

“Just say whatever you want.”

Li Changshou sorted out his thoughts and paced around.

“After the Purple Cloud Palace’s meeting, the Middle Continent and the East Continent will definitely be in chaos. The Western Sect only has three to six strategies. I have already listed all of them. The most likely method is to use the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools. The Immortal Sects of the Three Schools are closely related to the disciples of the Three Schools. It also concerns the overall strength and reputation of the Immortal Sects of the Three Schools. The Western Sect would definitely fan the flames secretly and use the attacks of the two immortal sects in the Middle Continent to make Jie School and Chan School gradually go against each other and accumulate hatred. The human heart could not be controlled. Although there were many disciples of the Saints of Jie School, they were still very small compared to the Qi Refinement cultivators of the Middle Continent and the cultivators of the trichiliocosm. In other words, this matter would definitely happen. However, the timing and scale of it is uncertain. If Chan School and Jie School were incompatible, the Western Sect could take the opportunity to tie themselves to Chan School and achieve their goal of targeting Jie School and safely surviving the Great Tribulation. The Western Sect’s actions are in line with the Heavenly Dao’s expectations of the Great Tribulation. That is, to reduce the power of living beings.”

Wei Shenmo nodded slowly and said, “Then, what should we do?”

Li Changshou continued, “Just as I said previously, we can only expand the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. While the Middle Continent is in chaos, it will be more convenient for the Heavenly Courts to send some Golden Immortal realm experts to strengthen the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. The Heavenly Courts belonged to the Heavenly Dao. Not only would the Heavenly Courts’ immortals and Heavenly Courts’ soldiers not be classified as the burden of the world, but they would also be treated as the power to strengthen the world. From a stable perspective, the faster the Heavenly Courts developed in the Great Tribulation, the more powerful they would be, and the lower the number of casualties would be. Of course, that was decided by the Heavenly Dao. As long as the Heavenly Courts’ troops increase to a certain extent and cooperate with the Immortal Alliance or the Heaven Ascension Hall, they can attack at any time and correct the chaos. They can stabilize the universe in one move and establish order in the Middle Continent.”

Wei Shenmo’s eyes were filled with divine light. He asked, “What order?”

“The orders of the Immortal Sect’s Heavenly Courts are restrained by the Heavenly Courts! Between the Middle Continent and the South Continent, he built the checkpoints of the Heavenly Courts and erected the wall of the Heavenly Dao to restrict immortals from entering the mortal world. Together with the development of the Shang tribes that had already obtained the Heavenly Fate in the South Continent, when the Shang tribes unified the prosperous land of the South Continent, they would sweep away the kings and nobles who had borrowed immortal herbs to extend their lifespans. The immortal contract that I had established with the leader of the Shang Clan back then could be completely effective. With such a combination, the mortals of the human race could completely escape the oppression of the Immortal Dao factions! However, Your Majesty, you must remember that you have to keep the mortals in the North to find the Immortal Path. Don’t cut off the mortals’ path to ascend. Only then can you ensure that the destiny of the Heavenly Courts and the human race will not be separated. At that time, if the immortal sect wants to take in disciples, they have to apply to the Heavenly Courts before they can enter the South Continent to select disciples. If there are demons in the mortal world that cause chaos, cultivators can kill demons and eliminate demons. They can use that to earn Heavenly Dao merit. At that time, the Immortal Sects of the Middle Continent would continuously provide Immortal Disciples for the Heavenly Courts. The Heavenly Courts would have all their troops and soldiers. When the calamity of the three sects descended and the Deity Positions were filled, the Heavenly Courts would prosper! Immortals and mortals can be separated. They can be connected to the world!”

Wei Shenmo clapped his hands and laughed. After some thought, he asked, “So what if it’s the trichiliocosm? Although the mortals of the South Continent are the foundation of the destiny of the world, the living beings in the trichiliocosm are also living beings. Those with less destiny should be the same. Moreover, there are also many hidden demons in the Burning Incense Divine Kingdom. They are all immortal sects that occupy land…”

Li Changshou smiled and said, “Your Majesty, you should know better than me what kind of second-rank Deity Positions there are.”

“You mean, the four Imperial Lords?”

“As long as the Heavenly Courts stabilize the order of the five continents, the trichiliocosm are just a matter of time. They are only different in form.”

Li Changshou paused and looked at Wei Shenmo.

“Your Majesty, I’m a disciple of Ren School and also from the Dao Sect’s Immortal Sect. Some of these strategies are actually different from the benefits of the Dao Sect. However, they are beneficial to the world, the living beings, and the future Dao Sect. Please remember what you said in the cabin when we were traveling in the West Ocean. The authority of the world, the Three Realms, and all living beings will be in your hands. If Your Majesty’s thoughts deviate, all living beings will be covered in charcoal.”

Wei Shenmo pondered for a while. His eyes were filled with emotions. He looked at Li Changshou with a complicated gaze.

He smiled and said, “Changgeng is always by my side. I will not take the wrong path.”

Li Changshou smiled warmly but did not say anything

He ultimately cultivated the Inaction Dao Fruit.
